BUFFALO, N.Y. — A popular waterfront attraction is good to go for another three years.
Monday, the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation extended the contract for the Queen City Bike Ferry for another three years.
The service, operated by the Hilliman family, takes bicyclists and pedestrians along the Buffalo River and runs Memorial Day through Labor Day. One-way fares are $1 person.
“The Queen City Bike Ferry not only connects the inner and outer harbors, but also provides a low-cost, efficient, scenic excursion on the water,” said ECHDC Chairman Robert Gioia. “Continuing this service allows easy access for bicyclists and pedestrians to the many attractions of our city’s greatest asset – the waterfront.”
The ferry can hold up to 49 passengers and 25 bikes at a time. One-way trips take 5-10 minutes between the Commercial Slip at Canalside and the Bike Ferry Landing at the Outer Harbor.
